FAIR NOTES.
Buildings Finished, Speed Entries on
Hand and Exhibits Arriving.

Extensive preparations are being made
tor the fair this week, under the super
vision of the officers of the association.
The merchants exhibition building is
completed. 1t is a roomy and handsome
structure, admirably adapted to the uses
for which it is intended.
The exhibit entries are much larger this
year than last. The live stock depart
ment will be numerically double the ex-
hibits of last year. while every foot of
space in the agricultural hall beneath the
grand stand has already been engaged.
Workmen have been engaged for sew
eral days in remodelling the interior of
the art hall, and that department is bound
" attract a great deal of attention next
week, when its capacity will be taxed by
the handsome displays to be exhibited.
The stables of the Post Percheron AS
ISOLATION are filled with magnificent I'M
ported and Wyoming bred horses, which
will contest Tor premiums. Several car
loads of racing and exhibition stock ar
rived from various directions yesterday,
and were taken to the fair grounds.
The club cup, hurdle. gentleman's trot-
ting and cowpony races, together with the
free for all are the leading attractions in
the speed ring.
There will be great sports aside from
the regular program. The Kent novelty
race will be a fine exhibition Of trained
horses. The slow mule race will be
simply ludicrous. Arenic games, such as
the sack race, climbing a creased pole and
catching the creased pig will be entertain
ing. Fully one hundred fond mothers
will present their children as candidates
for the First National bank handsome
baby prizes.

Mrs. Samson, a business and test me-
dunn Of wide and enviable reputation,
reached the city yesterday morning, and
has engaged rooms at the Dyer house,
where she will hold her receptions. Ali
press notices speak most fatteringly of
this lady's marvellous gift and those who
wish to test her skill in tracing up lost
cattle, and giving brands, also the names,
locations and development of mines, can
satisfy themselves by calling at rooms IA
and Is, Overs hotel She has numerous
testimonials from men of prominence,
which should satisfy the most skeptical,
but she invites personal investigation.
The Leadville Herald Democrat says:
Mrs. Samson has been in Leadville three
months, during which time she has given
sittings to all our most prominent citizens,
and all are unanimous in pronouncing her
gift marvellous and her test something
wonderful. Mrs. Samson certainly pos
sesses some great occult power, and as a
medium ranks far above any other we
have ever met.

THE JURY


There was a lively runaway on Central
avenue last evening. One of the city
teams bolted out of an alley and ran rap
idly toward the park. The driver, who
is not a strong man, lost control of the
animals and helplessly chung to the rcins
as the frightened horses selected a route
for themselves. In front of the residence
of the Misses Walker. corner Eighteenth
street and Central avenue, stood the car
rage of Capt. Bennett, occupied by a
soldier coachman. The latter was i'm
movable, apparently not hearing the APP
preaching runaway team. When the
tongue of the rapidly moving wagon
struck him in the back he suddenly awak-
ened from his day dream. The soldier
was slightly injured and the carriage quite
badly wrecked. The driver OF the city
team was quite profuse in his apologies,
while the owner of the military rig threat
ened to sue the corporation.
